How do I put the fish in the tank?



Here’s the general steps you’ll want to follow with placing typical fish into an aquarium. Note that this is for the basic fish of a freshwater aquarium. Don’t try this with a saltwater aquarium!

First, let the fish in the bag of water float on the water of the aquarium for about 15-25 minutes. This will let the water temperature of the tank adjust to the water temperature in the bag.

Next, open the bag and pour some of the water in the aquarium into the bag with the fish. That way you can see how the fish will react to your aquarium water.

Wait a few minutes, then add more water from the aquarium into the bag with th efish.

Finally, release the fish into the aquarium using a net.

If you follow these steps, your new pet fish will feel welcome and adored in its new home.
